The Descent (Night Vision Scene) – Jump Scare
The Descent has lots of great scares, but the most effective is when after almost an hour of steadily increasing claustrophobia and dread, we finally get our first glimpse of what the F is down there with them.
The Eye Jump Scare
Was thinking about Jump Scares today, because... well you know. And remembered one that really freaked me out back in the day. The calligraphy scene in The Eye from 2002.
Jaws (You’re gonna need a bigger boat) – Jump Scare
The iconic scene where the shark makes its first appearance while Brody is shovelling bloody chum into the water.
Jaws (Ben Gardner) – Jump Scare
The editing, sound mixing and Score all come together to produce a scare that makes me jump no matter how many times I've seen it.
The Exorcist III (Nurse Scene) – Jump Scare
There's a couple of other contenders - so you can't make me stick to it! But I think my favourite jump scare is the "Nurse Scene" in the Exorcist III.
The Lewton Bus – Jump Scare
One of my favourite jump scares is from Cat People (1942) credited as popularising or inventing a technique called The Lewton Bus.
